Trump gave an interview on Thursday to Hugh Hewitt, who repeatedly asked him to spill on what disparaging nicknames he plans to use against those who compete with him in the 2024 Republican primary. When Hewitt floated Glenn Youngkin (R) as a possible bid, Trump referred to the Virginia Governor as a “disappointment,” complaining that he didn’t get enough gratitude from Youngkin or his team even though “I did a lot for him. And he got elected because of me, just like Ron DeSantis. Even more so.”
DeSantis is often considered Trump’s biggest potential primary threat, and the former president has been opening fire on the governor ever since the midterm elections. Trump often claims DeSantis would’ve never won his governors race without his endorsement, so as soon as Trump brought up DeSantis’ name, the floodgates opened for a full-scale attack.
“He had nothing! He was dead, he was leaving the race, he came over and he begged me, begged me, for an endorsement. He was getting ready to drop out,” Trump said. He then shared how DeSantis supposedly grovelled for his help in beating Adam Putnam in Florida’s Republican primary
"There were tears coming down from his eyes. He said ‘if you endorse me, I’ll win,’ said Trump. “So I end up doing it, and he wins. They say it was like a bomb went off. Just a bomb totally went off. From the moment I endorsed him, he went from losing by numbers that were not catchable to winning easily.”
This went on with Trump saying “everything collapsed” for Putnam from the moment he endorse DeSantis, and that “I got him past the crackhead [Andrew Gillam], who was the hottest person in the Democratic Party at the time.”

Trump’s accomplishments include the vaccine and running up trillions in debt via “stimulus spending”. He helped create the COVID fear porn with daily briefings. He blocked evicting renters who didn’t pay. He attacked DeSantis for opening up Florida.
And his accomplishments included driving so many away with his personality that his slate of candidates either lost or grossly underperformed in virtually every battleground state in 2022.
I don’t think he’ll win the nomination. I’m certain he won’t become President in 2025. But he MIGHT ensure 4 more years of Joe Biden!
Yes it does.
All you have to do to have Trump’s loyalty is to FAWN all over him! He is becoming The INCREDIBLE Shrinking Man!
Does this mean he owes Trump more than he owes the voters who voted for him or the Constitution of the United states?
“dont waste time to attack Republicans.”
Not sure how to do it, but we must fully understand the Republicans that ask for our vote in 2024.
A rough competition is the only way to expose truths that can’t be exposed by a polite approach.
At the end of the day I guess the message is that politician should be completely loyal to some person who helped them not to the Constitution or to the United states?
It makes him sound like George Soros.
Here come the fan boy fluffers.... And is Trump accountable for Lindsay Graham being a supporter?
As I mentioned, the rinos are foaming at the mouth, thus exposing themselves.
“So now criticizing fellow Republicans in a primary is forbidden?”

DESANTIS IS NOT RUNNING IN A PRIMARY.
Hell, the primaries are a year off, can we get at least a few months to catch our breath?
I forgot to mention:
“If you done it, it ain’t bragging.” ― Walt Whitman
Here comes the party over patriotism stooges.
Lets elect lawyers, not leaders. We need more professional politicians!
Brilliant!
Trump has Zero pathway to 270. He’s back to playing games....
I'm a conservative, NOT a Republican.
I'll vote for DeSantis in 2028 - but not before.
A lot of us are sick of the Loser Backstab Party. I know that in my state, the RepukeLickings have given the government to the Democrats in the last 3 "election" cycles.
I'm done with them.
Good God, man! Shut up! Why must EVERYTHING on planet Earth revolve around you? You would be amazingly popular and more effective if you just used a little discretion and discernment to dial back the blather that turns off even Conservatives. This does not help you and advances nothing.
DESANTIS HAS REFUSED TO RULE OUT RUNNING IN THE PRIMARY.
The point stands.
